Missing General Tab

A registry restriction has been set. Search your registry, using Regedit, to find the word "GeneralTab". Edit any example, changing from a setting of 1 (the number one) to 0 (the number zero). The keys affected should be:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel
